‘Commentator’ Ali explains
Dele Alli 28, Everton explained the Chelsea players’ altercation from a player’s point of view.
Dele Alli appeared as a daily commentator on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football program on the 16th . He broadcasted the 33rd round of the Premier League match between Chelsea and Everton in the 2023–2024 season.
Chelsea ended up winning the game. Cole Palmer scored four goals alone, securing a landslide 6–0 victory. Chelsea, who now has three points, has 47 points 13 wins, eight draws, and 10 losses to move up to ninth in the league. Chelsea is only three points shy of Manchester United 50 points, which is ranking seventh.
Alli of Everton has not played a single game this season due to groin injury. Alli, who did not show his face on the ground, turned into a commentator and watched his teammates play in the studio.
After moving to Tottenham Hotspur in 2015, Ali emerged as England’s top talent. At the age of 19, he scored 10 goals in the 2015–2016 Premier League, his first season as a 19-year-old transfer player, and 18 goals in the following season, heralding the emergence of a new genius.
Ali led Tottenham’s rise by establishing the DESK line with Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, and Christian Eriksen. Sky Sports of the U.K. also called Ali the “next superstar to succeed Wayne Rooney.”
Since then, however, his skills have rapidly declined. His flash of sense has disappeared and his movements have become slow. Losing competitiveness, he moved to Everton through the winter transfer window of the 2021–2022 season.
It was also unsuccessful at Everton. Eventually, he left for Besiktas JK on loan in August 2022. However, he finished the season early as he was put on the operating table due to an injury.
He has since returned to Everton, but is still groaning with injuries.
This Everton-Chelsea match did not look good. With Chelsea leading 4–0, Palmer scored a penalty kick. Then Noni Madueke and Nicola Jackson ran in and fought for a penalty kick. Notably, Madueke held the ball and had a quarrel with his teammates for a while.
Ali, who watched it, said, “I think this scene shows the age of these players,” adding that it could happen among young players.
“Players don’t fight to kick each other if a penalty kick is crucial. When your team is leading by four goals, you may want to be on the scoring list,” Ali said, explaining that when young players took the lead, he was greedy to score.
“Chelsea had an amazing performance, but everyone will talk about this scene, not the game. It’s unfortunate,” Ali said, expressing regret over the players’ actions. 토토사이트
Meanwhile, Pochettino said, “I can’t accept this behavior. I told the players this is the last time. I’m not joking. It’s impossible to act like this after such performance. To become a good team, we need to change and think about the way we want to be a good team.”
